Solo ride in the morning, and it was colder than it has been since last year, probably below 35 deg. I bundled up pretty well, and the only thing that stayed cold in the ride were my toes, although my fingers were cold (even with double gloves) at the start. Headed through the neighborhood to RB Rd and then out to Camino del Sur. Over to Carmel Valley Rd, taking a right and heading down to the 56 bike trail. Then it was back on the bike trail all the way to Rancho Penasquitos Blvd, keeping it at a modest pace all the way, above 10 mph on the climbing sections. To Poway Rd, staying on it all the way up to Espola Rd, giving me a chance to work more on climbing. Then I took Espola Rd back to RB Rd, with the other little gradual climb that went up to the high school. Back home, still with cold toes, taking the W Bernardo Dr standard route home. Felt fine from the muscles standpoint at the end.
